Why We Love This Unique Experience
Experience the thrill of paddling through the stunning waterways of Florida on the Manatee Discovery Kayak Tour! Ideal for small groups, this extraordinary adventure offers an intimate and unforgettable way to encounter the gentle giant of the sea. Positioned near Orlando, participants can easily take a break from city life to immerse themselves in nature while observing these lovable creatures in their natural habitat.
During the two-hour guided expedition, venture into Blue Spring State Park, where manatees gather in droves throughout the winter months. As the kayak glides over the serene waters, watch in awe as curious manatees swim around, occasionally getting close enough for a memorable interaction.

Whether it’s for a birthday, holiday, or just because, the Manatee Discovery Kayak Tour near Orlando is sure to create lasting memories as participants explore the enchanting beauty of Florida’s waterways and connect with the incredible manatees.
